After hearing this, the Fifth Prince immediately said, "Fourth sister, calm down. These things are not as simple as you think..."
"You don't have to say more. I know what I'm going to do. I just can't accept it. I can't accept why he would marry someone who can't help him at all."
The fourth princess raised her head proudly. In her opinion, the young master was a burden, and Han Xiao was a child of destiny. The more she investigated and understood Han Xiao, the more she would be attracted to him.
There are few men like this in the world, and only she is worthy of Han Xiao.
The fourth princess's eyes were determined, and she already had an idea in her mind.
The fifth prince thought something was wrong and looked at Aunt Yinping to ask what to do. His sister was getting stuck in a dead end again.
Aunt Yinping stepped forward and whispered in the Fourth Princess's ear, "Your Highness, don't worry about it for now. Let me handle this matter, okay?"
The fourth princess was stunned and didn't understand what Aunt Yinping meant.
Aunt Yin Ping still looked at the Fourth Princess tenderly, raised her hand to tidy up her hair that had fallen on her temples, and continued, "Your Highness, you only need to wait. You don't need to do anything else. Leave the rest to me. Since the princess likes Han Xiao, then I will make her wish come true."
"Aunt..." The fourth princess' eyes turned red and she didn't know what to say.
The fifth prince next to him was so anxious that he was jumping up and down. He wanted Aunt Yinping to persuade the fourth princess and not ask her to express her loyalty.
"Aunt, you..." Before the Fifth Prince could finish his words, Aunt Yinping made a gesture to silence him, asking him to calm down.
"This is not the place to talk. Let's talk about this later."
After Aunt Yinping said so, the brother and sister wanted to take a look and then quieted down.
Where they didn't notice, the second prince was actually listening with his ears perked up.
He picked up the wine glass and leaned lazily against the back of the chair, half-closing his eyes, looking like he was drunk.
I didn't expect that Xiao Si actually likes Han Xiao and even wants to marry him. I really don't know whether I should say that she has good vision or that she is brave.
They didn't know the Fourth Princess beside Han Xiao, but he knew the young master's identity.
However, what surprised the second prince was Aunt Yinping. Logically speaking, when Su Guijun was here, Aunt Yinping should have seen Su Guijun. Could it be that she didn't recognize her?
The second prince drank the wine in the glass, sat up and changed his posture to look at Aunt Yinping. Unexpectedly, Aunt Yinping nodded at him.
She made a gesture with her hands hidden in her sleeves, and regardless of whether the Second Prince saw it or not, Aunt Yinping lowered her head again and stood behind the Fourth Princess.
It's interesting that such a small female official can be so bold.
The second prince became interested and decided to meet her.
The Qionglin Banquet lasted until the evening. The young master could no longer hold on and wanted to sleep, so Han Xiao told Eunuch Dexi and they went back first.
Eunuch Dexi knew that the young master was sleepy, so he immediately arranged for a sedan chair to take them back.
On the way back, the young master leaned in Han Xiao's arms and couldn't open his eyes.
Han Xiao held the young master's head. The sedan chair swayed like a rocking car, and the young master became even more tired.
"Go to sleep. I'll call you when we get home." Han Xiao kissed the young master on the forehead.
The young master grabbed Han Xiao's hand and nodded in a daze. He was sleeping soundly at this time and had no idea that a conspiracy was about to be set against him.
After the Qionglin Banquet, Han Mingyuan officially became a compiler in the Hanlin Academy, and began his hard life of going to court before dawn every day.
Han Xiao and the young master had some free time. Han Xiao had not forgotten the bidding matter he had promised Boss Liu, but he just handed it over to Xing Yi and Lu Qingyun.
After all, Qihuoju also belongs to Lu Qingyun, and he still needs to take care of the cement road project. This bidding just happens to be a good opportunity for the two of them to practice their skills.
Han Xiao directly threw the plan to the two of them and asked them to do it. If they didn’t understand, they could come back and ask him.
Although the process was a bit tortuous, Han Xiao also went to the bidding meeting on the day of the meeting. He just showed up briefly. After all, his face is still a trademark.
The bidding meeting was a complete success, and Lu Jinglin and Xing Yi were both busy and exhausted.
After the bidding was over, the two of them slept all day.
Lu Qingyun was still worried about Liu Anlan in Qingping Town, so he wanted to resolve the matter quickly and then go to Qingping Town again.
Han Xiao also knew that he was very anxious, but Lu Qingyun couldn't leave until the work was done.
The weather was getting hotter and hotter, and the construction of the cement road could no longer be delayed. After Han Xiao's bidding meeting ended, he joined forces with Boss Liu and other businessmen to hold another truly official bidding meeting.
This time, Chu Jinglin took the lead. The cement road cannot be completed overnight. The best way is to let these merchants start to share some of the cost.
The official road was still under the charge of the imperial court, with Han Xiao taking the lead, followed by the Ruan family, the Lu family, and Boss Liu, who organized a fundraising campaign.
Now the other businessmen were complaining, and many of them hated Han Xiao and wanted to get up in the middle of the night and put a sack on him.
But then they discovered the benefits of donating, which was tax reductions. The remaining businessmen were encouraged and immediately paid money.
For a while, Chu Jinglin's people were counting money every day, but they could never count it all.
The amount of donations was much higher than expected.
Chu Jinglin was shocked when he saw the amount of money on the bill in the study. Are all these businessmen so rich?
However, after making enough money from businessmen, Chu Jinglin turned his attention to court officials.
The next day, Mr. Qinghe learned that merchants had spontaneously donated money to build the road. He was deeply moved and immediately took out his own private money to donate.
The court officials were now all green with anger. When those merchants donated money, they were still gloating, but they never expected that one day the same thing would happen to them.
As a disciple of Mr. Qinghe, Han Mingyuan took the lead and contributed a portion, and the officials who joined the united team with Chu Jinglin also contributed a lot.
Even General Huo took out his spoils, which made others feel even more embarrassed.
Moreover, the amount of their donations was not small, and they secretly began to fight among themselves, causing other ministers to complain bitterly.
If you donate too little, others will look at you strangely; if you donate too much, you will feel the pain.
They have to donate even if it hurts. Haven’t you seen that the emperor is so happy that he can’t even open his eyes?
Who would dare to pour cold water on the emperor at this time?
In this way, the cement road project began to be implemented, and the happiest person was General Huo.
He didn't train as a soldier every day, but rode his horse to the construction site to do the construction work himself.
Most of the people who came to work on the construction were prisoners in jail. If anyone dared to be lazy, General Huo would whip him.
